Pamper night in’ kit

gift idea

If we (women) could, we’d all love to go to the spa every weekend – but the sad truth is that unfortunately only a few of us are lucky enough. Help your beloved one to get the similar feeling by creating her own spa-like experience at home. Get her the luxury of home relaxation with few products that will make her evening more enjoyable.

It’s simple – you can make sure her self-care night in session is right on point by getting her any of those things:

Slip Sleep eye mask and pillowcase. Not only is silk naturally hypoallergenic, but both silk and satin are extremely soft materials, so they cause less friction between the skin and the fabric. Thus, a silk pillowcase or an eye mask can provide major benefits to the delicate skin around eyes and minimize possible wrinkling. Get her either one or ideally both and she’ll love you for it!

If you’re still in doubt – believe us, you can’t go wrong with gifting a sleepwear. It doesn’t get any more relaxing than a cute and comfortable bathrobe or set of slippers. Upgrade her evenings with ones that are made entirely of pure silk. We promise it guarantees a classically stylish look she’ll rest in way easier.

How about giving her a little luxury of a spa making her home smell like one? An essential oils diffuser will help her to calm down and relax after the whole day of running errands around the town. Add up candles to the equation and you’ll get her the most calming setting ever. We promise making home a peaceful sanctuary filled with beautiful scents is a kind of a gift that even the pickiest of people whose tastes run the gamut will love. If you feel like splurging a little bit more – get her a bottle of Champagne and a box of nice chocolates. It doesn’t get more timeless than that and it’ll perfectly complement all those things you just got her.
